A Day at the Zoo

 So David had two days off in a row! We seriously did not know what to do with ourselves. So it was a perfect 70 degree day and we decided to take a little road trip to the Topeka zoo. Great idea! It's a really little zoo, but it is perfect if you want to see lots of animals and not walk very far to get to each of them :) We walked around once in about 15 minutes and looked at each other like that was it?!? So we took a second round and I am so glad that we did because we found the little petting zoo, black bears, fox, sea otters, eagles and all kinds of other little animals that we would have missed out on.

On our way!

 They had a tropical room which had all kinds of animals just roaming around the room. They had these massive redback turtles that Gabby thought were hilarious!

So fascinated by everything around her.

This was right after we saw the hippos. The room was echoing and she tried talking as loud as she could to get their attention :)

Here are some of the flamingos in the tropical room walking on the path with us. 

Ok this gorilla loved Gabby. I don't care what anyone says. He kept looking at her and came right up to the window and they just had a stare down. 

She looks so much like her Daddy...

These bears were awesome! But if I was holding Gabby and she wanted down and fell out of my arms she would be in there with them. I couldn't believe how easy it would be for someone to jump down in there...Seriously the fence came up to your waist and there they were... just 5 feet below.

This poor little sea otter was so bored. He has perfected his back flip though ;)

I can't wait to go back this summer with Tara and P!!!
